Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)#

Why is the Gluu Flex Admin UI displaying the following error messages after the Flex VM installation?#

The requested page not found#

Error Code: 404
The requested page was not found on this server.

If a user encounters the above error when visiting the Admin UI URL, it indicates that the Admin UI is not properly installed. Please verify whether the Admin UI build is located at /var/www/html/admin. If the build is not present at this location, Janssen displays this error.

Admin UI backend is down#

Error Code: 503
Gluu Flex Admin UI is not getting any response from the backend (Jans Config Api).

Gluu Flex Admin UI facilitates interaction with the Jans Auth Server through a REST API layer, Jans Config API. This error prompts administrators to perform a series of troubleshooting steps.

  1. Verify the status of the Jans Config API service by using the command systemctl status jans-config-api.service. In the majority of cases, this error is displayed when the Jans Config API is not running.
  2. It is essential to verify the server's network connectivity, including firewall rules, ports, and routing, to ensure that there are no network-related impediments preventing communication with the Jans Config API. Jans Config API runs at port 8074 for Janssen vm installation.
  3. Check the Jans Config API logs at /opt/jans/jetty/jans-config-api/logs/configapi.log for any potential errors.
  4. Review the Admin UI logs at /opt/jans/jetty/jans-config-api/logs/adminui.log to check for any potential errors.
  5. Confirm the existence of the /opt/jans/jetty/jans-config-api/custom/libs/gluu-flex-admin-ui-plugin.jar file. This file serves as the backend jar for the Admin UI and is used as a Jans Config API extension.
  6. It is also recommended to check the browser's console log and network tab for any failing requests, as this can provide additional information to diagnose and troubleshoot issues.

Internal server error in generating Jans Config Api token#

Error Code: 500
Error in generating token to access Jans Config Api endpoints.

This error is displayed when there is an internal server error in generating an access token for the Jans Config API. The Jans Config API endpoints are protected and require a token with the appropriate scopes for access.

  1. Inspect the Gluu Flex Admin UI log at /opt/jans/jetty/jans-config-api/logs/adminui.log for any errors related to token requests.
  2. Examine the Janssen Auth server log at /opt/jans/jetty/jans-auth/logs/jans-auth.log while it is in debug/trace mode to identify any errors that may occur during token generation.

To obtain a new SSA or renew an existing one, please follow the steps outlined in the provided guide from the Agama Lab web interface. If the SSA used during the installation has expired or become invalidated, you will need to upload a fresh SSA to regain access to the Admin UI.
